DUN'S REPORT.
Everything Considered, Trade
is Satisfactory.
BUSINESS FAILURES.
A Young Man, d, elieving lie is Chased
by Ghosts, Suicides-Under the
New Law-Other Notes.
Dun's Weekly Report.

New YORK, April 15.-R. G. Dun &
Co., in their weekly review of trade,
say considering the embarrassment
upon the uncertai ty as TO the freight
accounts, trade is surprisingly salts
factory. 1t is almost the univ essal
testimony that the retail trade is I'M
usually large. No embarrassment ap-
/ pears IN collections, except where real
estate or mining speculation locks up
available means, or in some localities
where bad roads still block business:
but in most cases Improvement is re-
ported. The remarkable activity is
clearly conhected with the exceedingly
plentiful supply OF money, which is
more abundant where some need was
previously reported, while at some
points, as at Memphis, money was
never so abundant before. Rates rise
to 10 per cent. or to 10 only at some
far western points, or where speCula-
ton RACES. but are usually moderate
for the locality. The increase in actual
circulation OF money from July 1St to
April 1st, has been $40, 1856, 155, or 81
per cent. The stimulating effect OF
such an addition is every where felt.
From Washington, the news comes
that the Treasury, realizing the risks
of excessive issues, will now draw in the
silver certificates of larger denomina-
lions. Speculation i'll real estate is
rampant in Colorado; spreading to
cities and towns throughout the
State, mas caused the locking
up of means. In Minnesota and
other western States, it has advanced
prices wonderfully. How far such
demands will prevent return of the
money usual at this season to CONNER
cial centres is yet in doubt, but no. fear
is felt of morleE going abroad. March
exports of prSsucts having been decid-
eddy large. Recent large purchases of
stocks on foreign account are reported,
but with somewhat suspicious oStenta-
ton and foreign exchange remains
stronger than it would naturally be if
money were coming this way to pay for
many securities.
Prices did not change greatly during
the week, though wheat is lower and
corn a little higher, with oats, pork,
hogs and sugar unchanged. Coffee has
risen an eighth and cotton one
sixteenth. Lard is shade
stronger and beef stiffens a little
on account of the freight rates,
but the enormous production and en-
barrassment in shipping products
account for decline of 81 cents in
iron. The dry goods situation is not
altered, uncertainty of rates affecting
distant trades, but cotton is strong, and
wool has declined more steadily, many
holders refusing to sell better grades at
current prices. An improving trade is
noted in hides, leather and boots and
shoes.
Business failures during the last
seven days number for the United
States 146; for Canada %; total, ITS;
against 223 last week, and 1S2 for the
corresponding week in last year. Bust
ness casualties are on the decline in
every section of the country.

rail lines leading from Peoria to BcffaIo
would appear before your COM
mission, IN person or by petition
lclalming, justly or otherwise, de-
pending upon The rates 20 Chicago,
and rates eastward from Chicago, that
all cereal products, jointly tributary to
Peoria or Chicago were being drawn to
| Chicago to meet the rate made by the
lake carriers, and the rate OF the rail
carriers from Chicago to Buffalo, were
authorized by your committee to make
in competition with such carriers, and,
that in order to meet This competition,
they, too, must be allowed to Chicago a
greater rate from intermediate points.
On the same grounds, the association
SAYS, Rock Island and Hannibal, East
st. Louis ana all intermediate COM
merciai centres would petition for re-
lief in comp atition with the Peoria,
and the Pennsylvania Company would
then come in with the representation
that Pittsburg stands in the same rela-
tion as does Buffalo to cereal products.
The association therefore asks that the
long and short haul feature be not sus-
pended in any instance until ex'
perience under the operation of the act
has proven that feature to be detri-
mental to the best interests of the
country. Notwithstanding the number
and importance of the petitions already
laid before the commission, it has
practically but one question under con
sideration that relating TO the long and
short haul feature of the law.
The Commissioner also received by
mill the petition of the American Sugar
Refining Company, of San Francisco.
1t sets forth that the immediate eff CT
OF the fourth section, unless modified,
Will be to entirely destroy the business
of distributing. the products of our
msnufactory in the States of the Mis-.
sissippi Valley. The company has over
100000 invested i'll machinery and
material devoted to the manufacture of
refined sugar, and has large con tracts
millions of dollars, based on the facilities
and opportunities offered by the over
lard roads. The enforcement of theS
law will destroy its trade and capital
The railroads are willing to continue
the olds rate, and the petitioners ask
that they be permitted 20 do so.
Fourteen refining establishments of
New YORK and Philadelphia unite in
letter to the Commission. They under
stand that the Pacific railroads are
about to make application to be re-
lieved from the operation of section
four. Before their request is granted,
the refners ask an opportunity to be
heard in opposition. 1t is alleged"
they say, "that the Pacific railways
have been carrying sugar at $40 per
ton from San Francisco to Missouri
River Points, while charging Salt Lake
City about $25 per ton upon a shorter
distance. the result has been that
eastern sugar refners have been en-
tirely excluded from the markets which
geographically belong to them upon all
grades of sugar made by San Francisco
reiners.

ments, however, in this respect.

Our Wealthy Men

Much has been said in newspapers OF
men who have made large fortunes in
comparatively few years in various
business industries. Many OF these
articles are written by correspondents
of prominent newspapers, and copied
into others of lesser note. Correspond

ness qualifications and wrongfully pic
ture these men and their business as a
thing of accident: this is not the case
with those we have met We FIND that
where men have made large fortunes by
their own business talent and industry
they chose with sagacity. and fore

The excitement was again renewed.
The sneaker then arose and addressed
the house. but his voice was lnaudlble

restored The speaker said that unless
Sexton withdrew the expressions he
would be compelled to name him. He

answers which were interrupted by
loud cries of Answer, - Answer the

withdraw his expression, at the same
time adding, Il cannot conceal from
myself the TACT that provocation has
been very great" (Cheers.)
Sexton formally withdrew the ex-
preston.

Extra Liability to Malarial Infection

Extra Liability to Malarial Infection.
Persons whose blood is thin, digestion
weak and liver sluggish, are extra
liable to the attacks of malarial disease.
The most trifing exposure may, under
such conditions, inject a system which,
il healthy, would resist the miasmatic
faint. The only way to secure i'm
munity from malaria in localities
where it is prevalent, is to tone and
regulate the.e system by improving
weakened digestion, enriehing the
blood, and giving wholesome i'm
petus to hillary secretion. These re-
suits are accomplished by. nothing SO
effectively as Rostetter's Stomach
Bitters, which long experience has
proved to be the most reliable, safe,
guard against fever and ague ana
kindred disorders. as well as the best
remedy for them. The Bitters are;
moreover, an excellent invlgorant or

depurent. eliminating from the blood
those acrid impurities which originate
